Drilling Extends Manganese at Horseshoe South

Latest drilling identifies high-grade manganese mineralisation within Main Pit area.

HIGHLIGHTS:

  • Assay results received from Phase 2 RC drilling programme completed at Horseshoe South, including first series of holes drilled in the main pit area

  • Best intervals at Horseshoe South Main Pit (using a 18% Mn cut-off grade):

  • ➢ HSRC012 - 3 metres (2-5m) @ 33.8% Mn

  • ➢ HSRC016 - 5 metres (2-7m) @ 24.2% Mn

  • ➢ HSRC018 - 4 metres (1-5m) @ 25.8% Mn

  • Best intervals at Horseshoe South Extended Area (using a 18% Mn cut-off grade):

  • ➢ HERC039 - 9 metres (24-33m) @ 22.6% Mn

  • ➢ HERC040 – 8 metres (23-31m) @ 22.0% Mn

  • Drilling was funded by manganese specialist OM Holdings Limited (ASX:OMH) under a recently announced $7.3 million Manganese Farm-In and Joint Venture agreement[1]

  • Bryah making preparations to commence exploration drilling under Stage 2 of the Agreement

Bryah Resources Limited (“Bryah” or “the Company”) is pleased to report further results from the second phase of exploration drilling within the Bryah Basin in central Western Australia. The drilling programme was funded by OM (Manganese) Limited (“OMM”), a wholly owned subsidiary of ASX-listed OM Holdings Limited (ASX:OMH) under a $7.3 million agreement (“Agreement”) signed in April 2019[2] .

Managing Director Neil Marston said “These final results from the historic Horseshoe South Manganese Mine confirm the potential for zones of high-grade manganese mineralisation to be present just below the existing open pit surface. We have intersected what we consider to be remnants of high-grade channel manganese with this programme. We have also extended the zones of manganese mineralisation at the Horseshoe South Extended pit area. This drilling is a further demonstration of the potential to discover new manganese mineralisation from surface and under shallow cover within our project area.”

A total of 83 holes for 2,081 metres of reverse circulation (RC) drilling was completed in this second programme at four sites; the Brumby Creek, Black Hill and Black Caviar Prospects and the historic Horseshoe South Manganese mine (see Figure 3).

Horseshoe South Drilling

The historic Horseshoe South Manganese Mine consists of two open pits, the main pit and a smaller Horseshoe South Extended Pit located close to the southern boundary of the mining lease (M52/806) (see Figure 1). The Horseshoe South Extended pit was mined in 2010/2011 by Process Minerals International, a subsidiary of Mineral Resources Limited (ASX:MIN).

A total of 32 holes were drilled for 1,124 metres in the first phase. In the second phase of drilling a further 34 holes for 666 metres were completed as shown in Figure 1.

Best assay results received from the second phase of drilling at Horseshoe South are set out in Table 1 below.

Table 2 details assay results received for all the drill holes completed at Horseshoe South.

Follow-up Activities

The Company has prepared a technical report and budget for OMM to consider ahead of OMM electing by 30 August 2019 to commit to the next the stage of on-ground exploration pursuant to the terms of the Agreement.

The budget proposes that the next phase of exploration activities, costing approximately $500,000, focus on testing extensions of high-grade manganese mineralisation intersected at Brumby Creek and drill test new target areas including at the Cheval and Black Beauty Prospects (see Figure 2).

Planning and permitting activities are underway so that drilling on these new areas can commence as soon as possible.

Manganese Exploration and Sampling

JORC Code, 2012 Edition – Table 1 Exploration Results

Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Sampling
techniques

Nature and quality of sampling (e.g. cut channels, random chips, or specific specialised industry
standard measurement tools appropriate to the minerals under investigation, such as down hole
gamma sondes, or handheld XRF instruments, etc). These examples should not be taken as limiting
the broad meaning of sampling.

Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample representivity and the appropriate calibration of
any measurement tools or systems used.

Aspects of the determination of mineralisation that are Material to the Public Report.

In cases where ‘industry standard’ work has been done this would be relatively simple (e.g. ‘reverse
circulation drilling was used to obtain 1 m samples from which 3 kg was pulverised to produce a 30 g
charge for fire assay’). In other cases, more explanation may be required, such as where there is
coarse gold that has inherent sampling problems. Unusual commodities or mineralisation types (e.g.
submarine nodules) may warrant disclosure of detailed information.

For this drilling programme Bryah Resources Limited
(Bryah Resources) utilised predominantly vertical
Reverse Circulation (RC) drill holes with some angled
holes included.

RC drilling was to generally accepted industry standard
producing 1m samples of approximately 3kg weight which
were collected beneath a cyclone and then passed
through a rotary cone splitter.

The splitter reject sample was collected into green plastic
bags which were numbered and laid into 10m rows.

The holes were sampled as 1m samples from the splitter
and placed into pre-numbered calico bags with the draw-
sting tied up and then placed inside the green plastic bag
for later collection and despatch.

The full length of each hole drilled was sampled.

Selected samples collected were submitted to a contract
commercial laboratory for sorting, drying, crushing,
splitting and pulverising.

A prepared sample is then fused in a lithium borate flux
with lithium nitrate additive. The resultant glass bead is
analysed via X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF). XRF is suitable
analysis for a wide range of geological ores.
Drilling
techniques

Drill type (e.g. core, reverse circulation, open-hole hammer, rotary air blast, auger, Bangka, sonic, etc)
and details (e.g. core diameter, triple or standard tube, depth of diamond tails, face-sampling bit or
other type, whether core is oriented and if so, by what method, etc).

Bryah Resources’ RC holes were drilled with a contract
RC drilling rig.

All RC holes were drilled using a 140mm face sampling
drilling bit.
Drill sample
recovery

Method of recording and assessing core and chip sample recoveries and results assessed.

Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and ensure representative nature of the samples.

Whether a relationship exists between sample recovery and grade and whether sample bias may have
occurred due to preferential loss/gain of fine/coarse material.

The RC samples were not weighed or measured for
recovery on the rig but will be completed on a campaign
basis at a later date as required.

To ensure maximum sample recovery and the
representivity ofthe samples, anexperienced Company

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
geologist was present during drilling to monitor the
sampling process. Any issues were immediately rectified.

Bryah Resources is satisfied that the RC holes have
taken a sufficiently representative sample of the interval
and minimal loss of fines has occurred in the RC drilling
resulting in minimal sample bias.

No twin RC drill holes have been completed to assess
sample bias.
At this stage no investigations have been made into
whether there is a relationship between sample recovery
and grade.
Logging
Whether core and chip samples have been geologically and geotechnically logged to a level of detail to
support appropriate Mineral Resource estimation, mining studies and metallurgical studies.

Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative in nature. Core (or costean, channel, etc) photography.

The total length and percentage of the relevant intersections logged.

All the 1m RC samples were sieved and collected into
20m chip trays for geological logging of colour,
weathering, lithology, alteration and mineralisation for
potential Mineral Resource estimation and mining
studies.

RC logging is both qualitative and quantitative in nature.

The total length of the RC holes were logged. Where no
sample was returned due to cavities/voids it was
recorded as such.
Sub-sampling
techniques and
sample
preparation

If core, whether cut or sawn and whether quarter, half or all core taken.

If non-core, whether riffled, tube sampled, rotary split, etc and whether sampled wet or dry.

For all sample types, the nature, quality and appropriateness of the sample preparation technique.

Quality control procedures adopted for all sub-sampling stages to maximise representivity of samples.

Measures taken to ensure that the sampling is representative of the in-situ material collected, including
for instance results for field duplicate/second-half sampling.

Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the grain size of the material being sampled.

Sampling technique:
o
All RC samples were collected from the RC rig and
were collected beneath the cyclone and then
passed through the cone splitter.
o
The samples were generally dry and all attempts
were made to ensure the collected samples were
dry.
o
The cyclone and cone splitter were cleaned with
compressed air at the end of every 6m RC drill rod.
o
The sample sizes were appropriate to correctly
represent the mineralisation based on the style of
mineralisation, the thickness and consistency of
intersections, the sampling methodology and
percent value assay ranges for the primary
elements.

Quality Control Procedures were:
o
A duplicated sample was collected every 50
samples.
o
Certified Reference Material (CRM) samples were
inserted in the field every 50 samples containing a
range of manganese values.
o
Overall QAQC insertion rate of 1:30 samples
o
Laboratory repeats taken and standards inserted at
pre-determined level specified by the laboratory.
o
Sample preparation at the laboratory: The samples
are weighed and dried at 105oC, then coarsely
crushed to -6.3mm using a jaw crusher. If the

then riffle split. Samples are then pulverised by LM5
or disc pulveriser to 80% passing -75 microns
o
The sample sizes are considered appropriate to
correctly represent the mineralisation based on the
style of mineralisation, the thickness and
consistency of intersections, the sampling
methodology and the assay value ranges expected
for manganese and its impurities.
Quality of
assay data and
laboratory tests

The nature, quality and appropriateness of the assaying and laboratory procedures used and whether
the technique is considered partial or total.

For geophysical tools, spectrometers, handheld XRF instruments, etc, the parameters used in
determining the analysis including instrument make and model, reading times, calibrations factors
applied and their derivation, etc.

Nature of quality control procedures adopted (e.g. standards, blanks, duplicates, external laboratory
checks) and whether acceptable levels of accuracy (i.e. lack of bias) and precision have been
established.

XRF is suitable for the total analysis of a range of
geological ores and is appropriate for analysis of
manganese and its associated impurities.

Duplicates and samples containing standards were
included in the analyses.
Verification of
sampling and
assaying

The verification of significant intersections by either independent or alternative company personnel.

The use of twinned holes.

Documentation of primary data, data entry procedures, data verification, data storage (physical and
electronic) protocols.

Discuss any adjustment to assay data.

Significant intersections have been independently
verified by alternative company personnel.

The use of twinned holes has not been implemented and
is not considered necessary at this stage of exploration.

The Competent Person has visited the site & supervised
all the drillingand sampling process in the field.

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary

All primary data related to logging and sampling are
captured using palmtops into Excel templates.

All data is sent to Perth and stored in the centralised
Access database with a Data Shed front end which is
managed by company geologists.

No adjustments or calibrations have been made to any
assay data, apart from resetting below detection values
to half positive detection.
Location of
data points

Accuracy and quality of surveys used to locate drill holes (collar and down-hole surveys), trenches,
mine workings and other locations used in Mineral Resource estimation.

Specification of the grid system used.

Quality and adequacy of topographic control.

All collars have been independently surveyed by
surveyors using a differential GPS for accurate collar
location and RL with the digital data entered directly into
the company Access database.

Downhole surveys have been completed on all the RC
drill holes by the drillers. They used a Reflex EZ-Shot
downhole multi-shot tool to collect the surveys every
30m down the hole.

The grid system for the Bryah Basin prospect is
MGA_GDA94 Zone 50.

Topographic control is based upon known survey
datums located within the project area.
Data spacing
and distribution

Data spacing for reporting of Exploration Results.

Whether the data spacing and distribution is sufficient to establish the degree of geological and grade
continuity appropriate for the Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve estimation procedure(s) and
classifications applied.

Whether sample compositing has been applied.

As this programme was a reconnaissance programme
there was considerable variation in the drill spacing and
drillhole orientation.

The drill spacing is generally not sufficient to establish
the degree of geological and grade continuity applied
under the 2012 JORC code.

No sample compositing was been applied to this drilling
with all samples collected at 1m intervals.
Orientation of
data in relation
to geological
structure

Whether the orientation of sampling achieves unbiased sampling of possible structures and the extent
to which this is known, considering the deposit type.

If the relationship between the drilling orientation and the orientation of key mineralised structures is
considered to have introduced a sampling bias, this should be assessed and reported if material.

The attitude of the lithological units varies greatly both
within the prospects and between prospect to prospect.
At Horseshoe South Extended the strike of the
stratigraphy is approximately 0300so the drilling was
conducted on an azimuth of 2900to intersect the
lithological units orthogonally.
Some holes were drilled in other orientations to intersect
specificmineralised structures, but alwayswithan

attempt to drill orthogonal to the strike of the interpreted
structure. Due to locally varying intersection angles
between drillholes and lithological units all results are
defined as downhole widths.

No drilling orientation and sampling bias has been
recognized at this time and it is not considered to have
introduced a sampling bias.
Sample
security

The measures taken to ensure sample security.

The samples collected were placed in calico bags and
transported to the relevant Perth laboratory by company
personnel.

Sample security was not considered a significant risk.
Audits or
reviews

The results of any audits or reviews of sampling techniques and data.

The Company database has been compiled from primary
data by independent database consultants and was
based on original assay data and historical database
compilations.

A regular review of the data and sampling techniques is
carried out internally.

Section 2 Reporting of Exploration Results

(Criteria listed in the preceding section also apply to this section.)

Mineral
tenement and
land tenure
status

Type, reference name/number, location and ownership including agreements or material issues with
third parties such as joint ventures, partnerships, overriding royalties, native title interests, historical
sites, wilderness or national park and environmental settings.

The security of the tenure held at the time of reporting along with any known impediments to obtaining
a licence to operate in the area.

The relevant tenement is 100% owned by Bryah
Resources Limited

At the time of reporting, there are no known impediments
to obtaining a licence to operate in the area and the
tenements are in good standing.

Exploration
done by other
parties

Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by other parties.

The manganese deposits in the region were discovered
during the gold rush period between 1897 and 1911
however were of little interest to explorers at the time.

Mining operations between 1948 and 1967 received the
focus of early exploration.

Manganese exploration conducted by BHP Limited, King
Mining Corporation Ltd, Valiant Consolidated Ltd and
various others since the 1960’s was concentrated mainly
around the historic pits at Elsa Group, Millidie, Horseshoe
South, Mudderwearie and Ravelstone.

Tuart Resources Limited and Peak Hill Manganese Pty
Ltd undertook regional exploration over a large portion of
the Bryah and Padbury Basins in the period after 2000,
identifying numerous manganese anomalies from satellite
imagery and aerial photography. Only limited on-ground
exploration of many of these anomalies was undertaken.
Geology
Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation.

These manganese occurrences are within the Lower
Proterozoic Bryah and Padbury Basins. Manganese
deposits are a product of prolonged weathering and
oxidation of sedimentary rocks and chemical
concentration and re-deposition of manganese within
ancient drainage systems. Most of the manganese
deposits are remnants of former drainage
palaeochannels. Although detailed surveys have not
been completed, the location of most manganese
deposits appears to be at about the elevation of the
former palaeosurface. These deposits are now left as
hilltop mesas or cappings (inverted relief).
Drill hole
Information

A summary of all information material to the understanding of the exploration results including a
tabulation of the following information for all Material drill holes:
o easting and northing of the drill hole collar
o elevation or RL (Reduced Level – elevation above sea level in metres) of the drill hole collar
o dip and azimuth of the hole
o down hole length and interception depth
o hole length.

If the exclusion of this information is justified on the basis that the information is not Material and this
exclusion does not detract from the understanding of the report, the Competent Person should clearly
explain why this is the case.

Refer to Tables 2 of this ASX Announcement for details
of sample locations, etc.

Data
aggregation
methods

In reporting Exploration Results, weighting averaging techniques, maximum and/or minimum grade
truncations (e.g. cutting of high grades) and cut-off grades are usually Material and should be stated.

Where aggregate intercepts incorporate short lengths of high grade results and longer lengths of low
grade results, the procedure used for such aggregation should be stated and some typical examples of
such aggregations should be shown in detail.

The assumptions used for any reporting of metal equivalent values should be clearly stated.

No high-grade cuts have been applied to the reporting of
exploration results.

No metal equivalent values have been used.
Relationship
between
mineralisation
widths and
intercept
lengths

These relationships are particularly important in the reporting of Exploration Results.

If the geometry of the mineralisation with respect to the drill hole angle is known, its nature should be
reported.

If it is not known and only the down hole lengths are reported, there should be a clear statement to this
effect (e.g. ‘down hole length, true width not known’).

As this programme was a first pass programme there
was some variation in the drill spacing and hole
orientation.

Due to locally varying intersection angles between drill
holes and lithological units all results are defined as
downhole widths.

This drill spacing is also not sufficient to establish the
degree of geological and grade continuity applied under
the2012JORC Code.
Diagrams
Appropriate maps and sections (with scales) and tabulations of intercepts should be included for any
significant discovery being reported These should include, but not be limited to a plan view of drill hole
collar locations and appropriate sectional views.

See attached figures within this announcement.
Balanced
reporting

Where comprehensive reporting of all Exploration Results is not practicable, representative reporting of
both low and high grades and/or widths should be practiced to avoid misleading reporting of
Exploration Results.

Refer to Tables 2 of this ASX Announcement.
Other
substantive
exploration
data

Other exploration data, if meaningful and material, should be reported including (but not limited to):
geological observations; geophysical survey results; geochemical survey results; bulk samples – size
and method of treatment; metallurgical test results; bulk density, groundwater, geotechnical and rock
characteristics; potential deleterious or contaminating substances.

No other exploration data available.
Further work
The nature and scale of planned further work (e.g. tests for lateral extensions or depth extensions or
large-scale step-out drilling).

Diagrams clearly highlighting the areas of possible extensions, including the main geological
interpretations and future drilling areas, provided this information is not commercially sensitive.
